Hard to type out. there are 4 near the spark plugs (we'll call these inner set), 4 on the outer edges (outer set). "Top" meaning intake side, "Bottom" meaning exhaust side. These directions are assuming you are standing in front of the car looking at the motor.
1: Inner set, top right
2: Inner set, bottom right
3: Inner set, top left
4: Inner set, bottom left
5: outer set, top right
6: outer set, bottom right
7: outer set, top left
8: outer set, bottom left.
Get all the nuts finger tight, then torque to 86 inch pounds. DO NOT overtighten, it will only cause leaks.
Good write up, but may I also suggest buying a Haynes manual. Very very helpful when it comes to bolt sequences.
